Millennials "quiet breathing" oxygen in the company-owned building.

This is why I would never emigrate to Mars, because the corpo-tyranny would charge for air.

After the ecological collapse, Earth will be like this too

Nar. On Earth we'll 'only' struggle to grow enough food, due to large previously productive parts of the world becoming unusable. We'll still be able to breathe.

Long run, Earth will be fine. It survived worse than us. We may not survive us however.

Company monopoly on air is an element of Total Recall (1990). Great Movie.

If we follow the logic of “doing your job” = “quiet quitting” then you need to call it “quiet suffocating”.

Life in the Crimson Corporation is typical: there are good times, when benefit packages and bonuses improve and bad times, when the corporation has to lay off some employees. Only, if one is out of job, one is out of luck. Since everything on Druuge worlds is Corporation property, every ex-employee is instantly trespassing and guilty of stealing corporation property, like air and sunlight. The only suitable punishment in Druuge laws for that is to feed the Furnace. Retired ex-employees are, however, allowed to breathe Corporation air (albeit at decreased rates).
